The history of the Kepler conjecture
  • Harriot and the rise of modern atomism
  • Harriot's influence on Kepler.
  • Kepler
  • Hilbert's 18th problem.
  • Kantor's commentary on Hilbert's 18th problem.
  • Thomas Harriot and the rise of atomism
    [In 1591 Thomas Harriot prepared a large triangular chart of numbers, with the the explanatory note:] "There are three speciall groundplats vpon the which may be orderly piled bullets: The triangle: the square: and the oblonge. Concerning pilong there are two questions: one; the nomber of bulletes to be piled being geven with the forme of the gound plat, to know how many must be placed in every rank, with how many rankes in the sayd ground plat. "The second a pile being made to knowe the nomber of bulletes therein conteyned. "ffor the aunsweringe of which two questions this table I haue calculated for the purpose." Obviously, this is a quick reference chart prepared for Ralegh to give information on the ground space required for the storage of cannon balls in connection with the stacking of armaments for his marauding vessels. The chart is ingeniously arranged so that it is possible to read directly the number of cannon balls on the ground or in a pyramid pile with triangular, square, or oblong base. All of this Harriot had worked out by the laws of mathematical progression (not as Miss Rukeyser suggests by experiment), as the rough calculations accompanying the chart make clear. It is interesting to note that on adjacent sheets, Harriot moved, as a mathematician naturally would, into the theory of the sums of the squares, and attempted to determine graphically all the possible configurations that discrete particles could assume a study which led him inevitably to the corpuscular or atomic theory of matter originally deriving from Lucretius and Epicurus.

    46 pp., 34 plates
    This account of the first attempt to plant an English colony in America is also the first published book illustrated from drawings executed in what is now the United States. It features the work of artist John White, whose sketches represent the earliest authentic pictorial record of life in the New World. It is, in the words of one savant, the "most delectable of Americana." Shown opposite is the celebrated "Adam and Eve plate," considered one of the finest copper-plate engravings ever published and emblematic of Europe's hope that the western hemisphere would prove a new Eden of peace and plenty. The author, a mathematician and scientist, had been dispatched by Sir Walter Raleigh as a surveyor with expeditions in 1584 and 1585. The second expedition lasted nearly a year, allowing Hariot and his companions ample opportunity to explore from Ocracoke Island to Hampton Roads. This surviving record of his investigations was written more to promote the Virginia Company than as a scientific report. Virginia is presented not so much as a place to make a home, but rather as a source of riches to be harvested and sent back to Europe. Only after recounting all of the commercial possibilities did he proceed to a description of the lives and manners of the inhabitants. Hariot's work first appeared as a pamphlet in 1588 but did not reach a wide audience until it was issued in 1590 by Theodore de Bry, accompanied by White's drawings. Published in four language editions, of which the English one is now by far the rarest, the book was a great success and launched the publication of de Bry's exhaustive Grands and Petits Voyages. More importantly, Hariot's account stirred public interest in the New World and probably was a key factor in generating renewed enthusiasm for the Virginia colony.

    Frequently Asked questions:
    • "Her teacher said they didn't have chocolate in those days..."
        Yes, they did have chocolate, but it was served as a beverage with hot pepper. (See http://jducoeur.org/justin/chocolate.txt for excerpts from a 1652 treatise about chocolate.) "Any ideas where I could get recipes/typical foods and drink for a Shakespearean breakfast?"
          Breakfast was not a major meal at that time. It was little more that a piece of bread in wine or ale, and maybe a little leftover cold meat pie. The main meal of the day was dinner (lunch). Here is a book that may help you: "I need information on food and eating habits of the Elizabethan time period."
            One of the biggest differences between Elizabethan times and earlier times is the expanded use of sugar. The Elizabethans seemed to be addicted to the stuff. New World foods and citrus fruits were also popular (most likely because they were novelty items and conspicuous consumption showing off to one's friends was very important), although the methods of preparation were frequently quite different than what you would expect today.

    Thomas Harriot
    Thomas Harriot, an Oxford-trained scientist, naturalist, and mathematician, wrote one of the most influential and best known sixteenth-century English colonial texts. First published in 1588, A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, was based on Harriot’s voyage to the New World in 1585 on the second Roanoke expedition led by Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Walter Raleigh’s brother-in-law.
